About the Maker

"I have always loved knives. Growing up, my brother was the gun nut and I was the knife nut. Saturday mornings brought all the old Tarzan movies to our tv screen and we would watch as he dispatched lions, rhinos, and 20 foot long crocodiles with just his knife! In 1990 I bought the book How to Make Knives by Richard Barney and Bob Loveless. So with files, a hack saw, sand paper and a drill press I made something that resembled a knife. I made about a dozen more in this fashion and found out there was a guy named Keith Kilby in Georgia who was a journeyman smith with the ABS at the time, gave classes at his shop on how to forge a knife. So it was off to Georgia for a weekend. The majority of the knives I make are hand forged from high carbon steels and damascus. My preference in steels are 1084, 1095, 52100, W-2, O-1 and 5160. My damascus is made with 1095 or 1084, 15N20, and 203-E. I am a founding member of the North Carolina Custom Knifemakers Guild . I have held the offices of President (3 terms) and Vice President (2 terms). I currently hold a Journeyman Smith rating in the American Bladesmith Society. I regularly teach classes at Montgomery Community College as well as many seminars across the state. Additionally I offer private weekend classes at my shop. I am honored to have studied under such knife making greats as Bill Moran, George Herron, Jim Batson, Don Fogg, and Darrel Ralph."
